it sounded so very interesting. to be involved in R&D means to be a step ahead of most everybody else. she was once in the R&D section of her department. Bldg innovation n tech.
this time it's something about archi education in the future. to revise the curricula to prepare graduates for current n future demands of the profession wrt to the rapidly changing climate, the burden of ecological footprints etc etc...
but, actually it's the vernacular traditional architecture, the humble timber dwellings in remote villages, that are way ahead of some recently coined, much hyped terminologies.
these attap roofed simple, practical structures do not disturb the earth much, co-existing beautifully and kindly with nature, besides being comfortable for the users and cheaply as well as easily maintained.
we could learn a lot from these abodes and the folks who build them.
